Hey gang. I am trying to line things up prior to taking delivery on a 2023 Defender 110 P400. The last time I bought a Benz, I was able to shop around at different MB dealers for the best price on an Extended Warranty, and I found a shocking dispersion between the highest price for a 7yrs / 75k warranty ($10,000) and the lowest price ($2,200). I am wondering if anyone knows if the same is true for Land Rover, i.e. can I shop around for the best price, or am I hard wired to my local dealer, and if anyone can recommend a dealer that they got the best deal from. Thanks!

 

I have just over a year of warranty left on my 2020 and trying to find coverage & was quoted the following by the dealer.

 

Upon purchase from my local dealer in July 2021, I purchased the Allstate "Premiere Care" contract for $5925. 10 years, 100K. Bumper to bumper, $100 deductible. I feel good to have this coverage and likely will get my money's worth based on my history of owning high milage Rovers...

 

I just posted this on on a different thread an hour ago, so I'm moving to this thread here, since I just saw it...

that's an interesting question, and probably source for a good thread.

As background, I'm moving from a 2018 RR sport (purchased w a 7yr extended warr I won't be using) and have a SnapOn tall boy full of tools and code readers for a Dodge & Mercedes. Being a Dodge/Ram/Cummins truck guy for a long while, I've been on vehicle specific interest forums since 2004. That question came up there numerous times. Of all the options and questions, the most interesting was sourcing a Mopar (factory) warranty extension through an alternative dealer after purchase of the vehicle; a dealer who was not trying to pay the month's rent with each extended warranty contract sale. The forum was successful finding a dealer sourcing Mopar warranty extensions, and over the years, a good number of warranty purchases were directed that way to everyone's satisfaction.

I'm looking at a June 23 delivery of a 110X, and that's exactly what I'm interested in. I've got the ext-warr paper on my 2018, so I know how it reads. The warranty price has more than doubled since then, and yet given the price of some things, the value might still be there. This coming from a guy who actually likes wrenching on his own vehicles. Has anyone investigated a co-operative or receptive dealer in the U.S., for a LR related warranty extension (which I know is not really LR and not as valuable as you think it might be.... in fact it's the exact same paper they were using for the Jag extension as well). Is there a better alternative out there?

 

Crazy numbers indeed. That begs the question, should I buy the warranty or apply this money towards a trade in for a 2022 or 2023 model when my 2020 warranty expires next year?
